About Me

Back home in the states after 3 years of volunteering abroad. In the midst of deciding of what's next.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from around the world, love cultural exchanges, and enjoy meeting experienced travelers. The international community at my university helped foster my ever growing interest in languages and cultures. I admire all who travel and are open to learning and experiencing new things.

Interests

I love to learn! I want to learn as many languages as I can in my lifetime and I love to read, my top two addictions. I also write, enjoy all kinds of puzzles (jigsaw and crossword), I am a yogi, I crochet, love Ultimate Frisbee or simply just throwing the frisbee around, enjoy card games and board games, cooking, bicycling and much more :)

Music, Movies, and Books

love rock, especially classic rock ( Singers/Bands include Foreigner, Heart, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd, Billy Joel, The Eagles, Bob Seger, Guns N Roses, David Bowie, Journey, U2, Bon Jovi, Styx, Dire Straits, The Doors)...I could go on forever
I also love a lot of other random songs (lots of one hit wonders or just one song of a band and not their other songs) And love discovering new music all the time (especially in foreign languages)...From ex-Jugoslavija, I find that I really enjoy the bands Smak, Bijelo Dugme, and Crvena Jabuka...and a few others
Only music I can't stand is rap, techno, electronic, and any music that involves yelling or screaming the words....Hip hop and R&B are also annoying sometimes

Don't have any favorite movies or books...for films I enjoy the genres of adventure, mystery, suspense, mind puzzling (make you think)...For books, I love mostly fiction and my "favorite" book and author are always changing. TV Series; I currently love BBC Sherlock and the Doctor Who series
Love books more than movies and TV though

Teach, Learn, Share

I can always share what I know, my experiences/stories...Depends on what you want to learn, maybe we can learn together. I am always open to learning something new!
